Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Gurudev. Pamho. Toda glorias a Srila Prabhupada y sus seguidores fieles.

Espero que se encuentre entusiasta en su sankirtana y en una agradable compañia de devotos,

Ahora hace casi un mes desde que partió de España y quería agradecerle que me haya permitido hacerle algún pequeño servicio. Ha sido muy agradable tener su asociación y también haber podido servir y relacionarme con otros devotos como Dhruva, Subhadra, Parasuram y Rukmini.

Se aprende mucho viendo las cualidades que tienen otros devotos y que a mi me gustaría desarrollar. Estoy agradecido por esto.

HpS/ASA - Jaya! Nos es igual! Estableciendo un afecta super para NVM, Sus Senorias y Sus servientes!!

Ha sido muy entenso aqui. Mucho contrasto y similaritud entre "Nueva Govardhana - Montemorelas" y NVM.

Pienso que estamos ganando la lucha con la bruja. Mas y mas gente apreciando la mensaje del Senyor Caitanya por medio de estas esfueras profesional.

Ya hemos vuelto a la rutina (dichosa) del Sat Sanga, piscina para espalda y mente, etc. La verdad es que al cuerpo le sienta bien la rutina.

Es evidente que la rutina de Nueva Vrajamandala es mejor para mi inteligencia y alma, sobre todo la asociación constante con buenos devotos y la presencia de las deidades. Espero que mas adelante pueda disfrutar mas de esa asociación: Estamos dando los pasos necesarios para que esto suceda.

Le envié a Mónica el mensaje que me envió pero no me contestó y no he querido presionarla (sobre todo sabiendo que ya no es un tema urgente). Le he dicho a Marcos que intente averiguar él los contactos de ¿hinduismo? que puedan haber en la UCM, sobre todo para el futuro.

Sigo al corriente de su sankirtan a través del blog y escuchando algunas clases.

Gracias de nuevo por su asociación personal o virtual. Es un estimulo para seguir en el camino y mejorar en lo posible.

Sorry for my late response, I have gone through many material things, entrance to the school of the Narottam brothers, an emergency operation of the appendix. uff!!!

With respect to your questions in the previous letter, here I answer.

Narotam has successfully completed the disciples and bhaktas course and the test stipulated by H. H. Jayapataka Swami. Both mother Alankriti and prabhu Parasuram have successfully passed the test for 2nd initiation created by HH Jayapataka Swami and both are taking the online bhakti sastri course. These 3 candidates are with all the times of service, courses and tests accepted.

I heartily appreciate all Maharaja, I will always be in your debt. Your humble servant, always attentive to serve you, Maha Anandini Radha dd.

HpS - Thank you!!! We were dying for this.

We need letters from the Temple President or his or GBC authorized agencies. Thank you. Hope your donkey, body, is teaching you good lessons to finish your material attachment very soon and wake up to your full self.

Respected Maharaj,

Please accept our humble and respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! 

For the pleasure of your Holiness, we would like to share some of the updates from Richmond Yatra:

 - After some hurdles, our Temple Project is moving forward. Initially, our site plan application was rejected by the county. After months of re-work and in addition to a lightning plan for the parking lot we are ready to re-submit the modified application to the county.

 - Upon approval, which usually takes about two weeks, we will initiate the construction of, driveway, Parking lot and other areas on the temple site. Which will take about a month.

 - Upon completion, we will apply for the inspection and occupancy permit. The whole process should take about 2-3 months.

HpS-ASA -- 😐 Super. AgtSP.

 - Apart from the temple project . . . regular, nourishing Krishna conscious activities are going on including - Multiple weekly Sangas like Bhakti Vrikshas, Bhakti Shastri, Saturday Feast, Festival celebrations, Kids Sunday School etc.

 - Srila Prabhupada is sending many new sincere families to assist and serve in the Temple Project and services.

HpS/ASA - 🙃 Su, Su, Super!!!

With above being said - We sincerely, on behalf of the whole yatra, would like to humbly request your holiness to visit us, and we very much desire to have another grand celebration - City Harinaam, Public inauguration of the temple with a cultural program etc., in presence of your Holiness.

Maharaj, we are made up of your mercy and we would like to be in your shelter and remain as your

your servant

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! We are just a peanut in the belly of an elephant compared to the mercy that Srila Prabhhpada is giving us. Now we are in Mexico. Riding the waves of the Spanish solar winds. Rama navami in The Capitol, then 3rd-11th April in Houston.

All this is in the Kapi Dhvaja (www.JayaRama.US/new.htm).

Such and excellent periodical.

Then we will return to our Base Camp in Murfree's Boro, Tennessee, and try to take a look at future travel etc from a basic platform.

Actually it is becoming impossible for us to travel with out an attendant, and with some extra facility. Even then it is a lot of work, yet that is what we want, no? To be constantly sacrificing for Krsna rather than Lord Banana.

So, let us stay in touch.

More Temple Yatra News.

Then we can develop programs!!

We need the help of the Rich Mound Yatra like anything.

Still remember you all in your gumshaws at Radha Kunda. 🙃

Please Accept my Humbe Obeisances!

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru And Gauranga!

HK. Maharaj! how are you??

HpS - AgtSP!! What you mean "you"? Ha! Ha! Ha! You mean my body? It has chest ache and eyes failing etc. My mind? Not bad. Other times during the day it has feelings of terror, but the Mantra and BG intelligence keeps us calm and progressive. You mean us as spirit souls? We are in Maya and trying to get out of the sticky syrup!

well I've been chanting the 16 rounds for one month and a half.

May I ask you a question, could you please tell me why the primary relationship Krishna has with Balaram is of brothership? and why not perhaps Balaram is his uncle or cousin?

HpS - Because They are both sons of Vasudeva, no? Balarama mother is Rohini and Krsna's Mother is Devaki. O.K.?? 😐

well thank you very much for everything!

HK!

Federico

HpS - Thank you!!

Let us look at more Blog posts together.

Hare Krishna, Maharaja, please kindly accept my most humble obeisances; all glories to his divine grace, Srila Prabhupada, our founder acharya; all glories to your good self, you have extended Srila Prabhupada's mercy to useless souls like myself.

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna!!!!

We just want your Dhira association.

I was trying to focus on my mangala arotika this morning, and as ususal my mind was running away with other thoughts. But this time I was wondering about what it means to have a personal relationship with Krishna because of engaging in Deity worship. I began to chastize myself mentally for not focusing on the actual business of Deity worship, and for trying to imagine what it's like to have a relationship with Krishna whilst trying to perform arotika. My mind recalled an incident from the Lilamrita, in which Srila Prabhupada chastized one disciple for the nature of his question, by saying "you have no right to ask such a question." I mentally applied this chastizement to myself, thinking "what right do I have to think about what my relationship is with Krishna? I can't get even momentarily put aside my material desires and attachments whilst performing artotika!"

And yet, I can't help but feel that there is a relationship between me and Krishna, even now, although my heart is plagued with worldly desires and attachments: some of them down right sinful. I began thinking of where would I be if suddenly I was to no longer have any Deity service. How empty my life would suddenly become, how lost and lonely I would feel if I didn't have something as simple and as tangible as Deity worship in my life. Practically speaking my entire devotional career has hinged on such a simple practice as Deity worship. Isn't this proof in itself that a relationship between Krishna and me is already there? The very thought of suddenly losing it would leave a blank and empty space in my life: like a huge hole that suddenly opened up as if in an earthquake.

HpS/ASA - Yeah! I was having exactly the same thoughts and realizations. We have a cordial friendship with our Deities. They are so kind. We just sit together and do simple things. If someone stole my Deities I would not be able to really live!

I guess I'm much more attached to the process and comfort of Deity worship itself, rather than its purpose of trying to please Krishna. I would like to think that Krishna is pleased with me, but given all of the sinful desires lingering in my heart, and given how I have to force myself to get up in the morning, instead of looking forward to my service, I can only pretend that Krishna is pleased with me.

HpS - One Peru devotee was a novice monk in Catholic order for several years and one of his classmates who was by nature very sexually agitated asked their spiritual master in anguish if the sex desires ever went away. The S. M. looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Yes, ten minutes after you die." SP said something similar. We are not sinful because we have sinful thoughts. That is natural from our birth. We are sinful if we don't respond to them with the proper intelligence that we have, no?

Furthermore, I haven't enough courage or good faith to surrender. Without surrender what kind of reciprocation can I possibly hope to receive from Krishna or even your good self? I need to close here, so that I don't embarrass myself further with more foolishness.

Your lowly servant,

BbD

HpS - Thank you. The Gopis are more surrendered than Mother Yasoda. We've surrendered smoking and drinking! What little surrender can we make today? Each little step is eternal!!!

Thank you. Your thoughts are very stimulating.
